Chapter 106: Living in the Present

Before she could continue her current train of thoughts, Lu Chen finally broke his silence.

"Xiu Mei." 

When he called her name, she immediately looked at him whose face is now filled with seriousness. She slowly returned to her senses, finally realizing the weight of her words. 

She stopped him from speaking by placing her hand on his mouth. 

"Sorry, I… I think I'm worrying too much when there's nothing confirmed yet." She averted her gaze and decided to run away for now.

"I'll go back to my room to rest. Goodnight." 

Xiu Mei rushed back to her room without even looking back. She leaned behind her door as soon as she finally entered her room and let out a deep sigh. She ran away because she was afraid of Lu Chen's response to her statement.
